ATD (8)
run jobs queued for later execution
SYNOPSIS
atd
[ -l
load_avg ]
[ -b
batch_interval ]
[ -d ]
[ -s ]
DESCRIPTION
atd
runs jobs queued by
at(1) .
OPTIONS
-l
Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should
not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of 0.8.
For an SMP system with
n
CPUs, you will probably want to set this higher than
n-1.
-b
Specifiy the minimum interval in seconds between the start of two
batch jobs (60 default).
-d
Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using
syslog(3) .
-s
Process the at/batch queue only once.
This is primarily of use for compatibility with old versions of
at ;
atd -s
is equivalent to the old
atrun
command.
A script invoking
atd -s
is installed as
/usr/sbin/atrun
for backward compatibility.
FILES
/var/spool/at
The directory for storing jobs; this should be mode 700, owner
daemon.
/var/spool/at/spool
The direcotry for storing output; this should be mode 700, owner
daemon.
SEE ALSO
BUGS
The functionality of
atd
should be merged into
cron(1) .
